Week 4 Post B

This post is about an interesting twist to the way Life of Pi is written. Chapter 30 is narrated by the author rather than Pi. In previous chapters, this switch in narration confused me because there is nothing to alert the reader that the switch happens however this little trick that Yann Martel uses helps characterize Pi by describing his future self and life. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that the reader gets to see what happens to Pi near the end of the story without knowing what the transition from Indian life and culture to Canadian life and culture will bring Pi.
